“We hosted a company dinner for 30 guests last night, and it was a flawless experience. I worked with the chef, Bret, for a few weeks to coordinate the menu, seating, and guest count. He made everything seamless and was an absolute joy to work with. The table setup was perfect, the food was excellent, and the service staff was completely on point. I want to specifically highlight the crab cakes—they were outstanding! I usually judge a restaurant by the quality of their crab cakes, and these were delicious, as was everything else we ordered. A special shout-out to the bartender, Matt, for keeping the drinks flowing all night. Everyone left impressed, happy, and full. If you are looking for a sign to book your next event or dinner here, this is it!”

“🍝 From Boston’s North End to Pasadena — A Dream Come True! I can’t believe I finally found this restaurant in Pasadena! I loved it so much when I visited Boston’s North End that I told my husband countless times I’d go back to Boston just to eat here again. I was actually searching for the restaurant to recommend to a friend visiting Boston when I suddenly discovered there’s a location in Pasadena. OMG! I had to go immediately! ❤️ We visited on a Sunday night, and the restaurant was packed. I’m so glad we made reservations! 🏡 Atmosphere & Service The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere, comfortable seating, a welcoming bar, and an open view into the kitchen. I love watching the energy and action in the kitchen while enjoying a meal. It feels like a proper neighborhood Italian restaurant where the food takes center stage. The staff were super friendly, and you can tell they care about using fresh ingredients. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience! 🍸 Cocktails We tried Theo, St. Germain, Sebastian, and Basil. All of them were good and enjoyable, although none was particularly mind-blowing. The flavors were fairly mild, and they weren’t especially strong in taste or alcohol intensity. 🍽️ Food Rankings — Favorite to Least Favorite 🥇 1. Black Pasta Aglio Olio THE STAR OF THE NIGHT! This was just as delicious as I remembered from Boston years ago. The pasta had a slightly crispy texture, and the chopped calamari complemented it perfectly. It was served sizzling right out of the skillet, which was such a fun and unique touch. The dish had a subtle spicy kick and so much flavor. My only complaint? I WISH THE PORTION WERE BIGGER! I could easily eat another serving. Absolutely must-order! 🥈 2. Lobster Fra Diavolo for 2 This dish is HUGE and can easily feed two or more people. It comes with lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari over linguine in a delicious, flavorful red sauce. They definitely don’t skimp on the seafood or portion size! If you love seafood pasta, this is a fantastic dish to share. 🥉 3. Black Pasta Alfredo The flavor was surprisingly good! The creamy Alfredo sauce was rich and flavorful, and you could really taste the Alfredo. A great option if you prefer a creamy pasta over a spicy tomato-based sauce. 4. Fritto Misto A delicious assortment of fried calamari, shrimp, haddock, and scallops. Everything was nicely suited to a classic fried seafood platter. Definitely worth trying if you love crispy fried seafood! 5. Clam Chowder The chowder wasn’t overly creamy, which I appreciated. It had plenty of clam pieces and was very flavorful. It was good, although I’ve had better clam chowder elsewhere. ❤️ Final Verdict Finding this restaurant in Pasadena felt like rediscovering an old favorite from Boston! The Black Pasta Aglio Olio alone was worth the visit, and the generous Lobster Fra Diavolo was another highlight. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, a lively open kitchen, and comforting Italian-American seafood dishes make this a place I’d happily return to. 📌 My must-orders: Black Pasta Aglio Olio and Lobster Fra Diavolo for 2. Make a reservation if you’re visiting on a busy evening!”

“Crab Grabber in Pasadena exceeded my expectations! The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The garlic butter sauce was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. What really surprised me was how good the Chinese food was too. The roasted fish and beef were delicious, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. It's not often you find a place that does both seafood boils and Chinese dishes so well. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the service was fast. If you're looking for amazing seafood along with delicious Chinese food, Crab Grabber is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“Under new ownership and already such a difference. I stopped by last night and had a FANTASTIC meal. I ordered the snapper and catfish meal with two sides. The fish was tender and perfectly seasoned and the colored greens and string beans were amazing. Perfectly seasoned and nice and hot. They give you two sauces and two slices of bread as well if you want to make a sandwich. It’s inexpensive and the customer service was excellent. I can tell lots of love has already gone into this place and will as the new owners settle in. Looking forward to stopping here regularly!”

“Nick’s in Pasadena is definitely a hot spot for a reason. From the moment we arrived, the energy was great, busy but not overwhelming, and the vibe was lively without being too loud. Even with how popular it was, our wait time was minimal and we were seated fairly quickly, which was a great start to the experience. Customer service was truly top tier. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. Our drinks, appetizers, and entrees came out surprisingly fast, especially for how packed the restaurant was. Everything was timed perfectly, no long gaps and no feeling rushed. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. From the fresh seafood and crispy fried chicken to the flavorful appetizers and perfectly crafted drinks, everything hit the mark. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the quality and consistency of the dishes. Every plate we tried was seasoned well, fresh, and full of flavor. Another thing that stood out was how clean and well maintained everything was, including the bathrooms, which always says a lot about a restaurant’s standards. We ordered the meatloaf, buttermilk fried chicken, and Chilean sea bass, and every entrée was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The meatloaf was hearty and comforting, the buttermilk fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and topped with a rich, flavorful sauce, and the Chilean sea bass was perfectly pan seared, tender, and buttery. For appetizers, we had the deviled eggs and crispy rice with spicy tuna, and both were a hit. The deviled eggs were creamy and well seasoned, and the crispy rice with spicy tuna was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of crispy and savory. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and worth ordering again. Overall, Nick’s delivers on atmosphere, service, and food. It’s the kind of place you can go for a date night, celebration, or just a great meal with friends. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re in Pasadena and looking for a great dining spot.”

“Tae and the entire crew at Sushigah take unbelievably good care of my family and me every single time we come in. We honestly don’t feel like customers here, we feel like family. The sushi is always fresh and excellent, but what really makes this place special is the people. Tae and the team remember us, take care of the kids, and always make sure we have a great experience from the second we walk in. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the food is this good and the hospitality is even better. Sushigah has become one of our family’s favorite places, and we genuinely look forward to coming back every time. Couldn’t recommend Tae and the entire crew more highly.”

“I had such a wonderful dining experience here. Every dish was prepared with obvious care and attention to detail. The tempura was perfectly fried, and I really enjoyed the fresh slice of orange that came on the side. The fish was incredibly fresh and vibrant in the bowl. It is rare to find such high quality and consistency in every single plate. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu soon. Highly recommended for anyone in Pasadena.”

“Visited a little past 5 on a Wednesday, it wasn’t very crowded at all. Sat in the bar/lounge area, both of which include a bartender and happy hr specials. I had the happy hr Manhattan (13) and steak sandwich (20). Ambiance was very upscale as you could imagine. Don’t let the picture fool you, I too thought the steak sandwich was a small portion, but it’s packed with juicy steak, I ordered it rare. Bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming, I tipped him double of what the receipt suggested. I also ordered the butter old fashioned which was presented beautifully with the smoke effect (to my surprise), not on hh but I really enjoy butter-washed spirits and this one definitely hit the mark. The drink was perfectly balanced. Overall, I highly recommend and I look forward to returning. The music was also surprisingly superb, lots of R&B, which is my favorite.”

“This place exceeded my expectations. I just picked the first Peruvian restaurant in the area because I was craving this type of food and I went thinking it was just a little place with ok food. The ambience is cozy and the food was excellent. All the servers were attentive and quick to take our orders and bring food. My only complaint is that they are too far away from me so I wont be able to come often but if I do, I know is worth the hour drive!! This place is 5 out of 5 . I definetly recommend the ceviche B69 and Chiquitos Serranos”
